Doug Kyed

My family received unthinkable news two years ago when our 2-year-old daughter, Hallie, was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia. She endured numerous rounds of chemotherapy, radiation and a bone marrow transplant in hopes to cure her cancer. 🧵

“He was just a sponge. I mean, he was there morning, afternoon, night, just picking my brain, and I felt like I was back in the pros with him.”

@user2102459621 @Savageboston He’ll be 22 in May. 18 as a freshman, 19 as a sophomore, 20 as junior, 21 as a senior. No redshirt year.

@Savageboston @DougKyed 4 year start and is only 21 how ?

Patriots coaches are “ecstatic” with the Gabe Jacas draft selection. Per: @DougKyed “That’s why Patriots coaches, who spent a day with the 21-year-old pass rusher on a pre-draft visit, were “ecstatic” when the team’s front office traded up to select the four-year Illinois starter in the second round.” 👀

NFL Notes: Patriots coaches were “ecstatic” to draft Gabe Jacas. Why? He’s “consumed” by pass rush. He’d talk about it for 20 hours a day. Plus: How NFL sources felt about the Karon Prunty "reach" and more: bostonherald.com/2026/05/02/nfl…

The Patriots surprised media draft analysts by picking CB Karon Prunty in the fifth round. But how did NFL sources feel about the pick? NFL Notes: bostonherald.com/2026/05/02/nfl…

Honestly though, Keion White is a unique person, unique athlete, and he had a very unique journey to the NFL. I don’t know if I’d compare anyone to him.

Well, they’re different players, different human beings, different ages, different sizes, different skill sets, different athletes, different production, different journeys

“Honestly, there are several times where I would not let Gabe practice because … he can just overwhelm and overpower people. I didn’t want to have a bad scenario. And you can’t tell Gabe to go slow. You can’t tell him to go half-speed. He only knows one speed.”

@YANGS1K @Savageboston That’s not even really true about Jacas. Previous edge went 10 picks before. Next came off the board 12 picks later.

@Savageboston @DougKyed Glad they're happy. Hope it works out. A little unnerving getting the last player at OT and last at EDGE during those runs, especially when we traded up for both

@csoandy 1. Good catch 2. Didn't finish the season on the 53-man or gameday roster, so I'd project the same for 2026 3. Agree for depth to guard against injury. Could be worth bringing someone in to compete with Brown.

@DougKyed Yes, too early (and 5 am!). A few thoughts: 1: you left the (R) off after Crownover in the OL list. 2: I’d miss Pharms. Felt like you only heard his name on impact plays. 3: I’ve heard rumblings of “they need better safety help.” Thoughts?

@_LapsisBeeftech @michaelFhurley @JonHillManBoy @PatsChatPodcast The Sinclair is good. I had forgotten about it. I also was not aware that ONCE in Somerville had closed. That place was cool too.

@michaelFhurley @JonHillManBoy @PatsChatPodcast @DougKyed I couldn’t believe it. I was just about to yell at you. I forgive you though.

Going to do another @PatsChatPodcast with @DougKyed soon and I'm once again wondering if any of you have questions? As is always the case, I'm not telling you we're going to answer them. I have a genuine curiosity: Do you have questions? Technically you could share them if you want but I am not even asking that. That's not my request. So, do you have questions?

New @PatsChatPodcast. With the draft in the rear view, @DougKyed and I run through the Patriots' roster to assess the strongest and weakest position groups. We also rank Boston concert venues (thanks @JonHillManBoy) and I managed to forget one of my favorites. 🎧open.spotify.com/episode/1a2zNa… 🎥 youtube.com/watch?v=X7x1qC…
